"That Good
Old Baylor Line" is the alma mater of Baylor University at Waco. The title
of the school's song was conceived of in 1907 by a group of Baylor men led by
William B. Todd. Humorous lyrics were written to the tune of "In the Good
Old Summertime." The words used in the first version were replaced in 1931.
Mrs. Enid Eastland Markham, wife of music professor Robert Markham, and 1923
Baylor graduate, felt that
the original lyrics were not dignified enough or representative of the whole
University. She penned the above words, and presented her effort at chapel in
November. The lyrics were soon sanctioned as the official school song. The tune
from "In the Good Old Summertime" was later arranged by Jack Goode,
Donald I. Moore and Charles F. Brown to fit the new lyrics. Several other
arrangements have been produced.
